As a fellow Texan in Arlington (it’s not much cooler up here) I agree that Autumn IS a state of mind 😆. I look forward to reading your Friday posts every week!
Oh I would also very much like any hypotheses about why over half of us are oldest children!? That's fascinating.
Thanks for linking to the article on homeschooling and being WITH the children... it's my favorite to be with these two wonderful, wacky, hilarious, sneaky, angsty, creative, frustrating, curious, beautiful kids. I loved reading her take.
I enjoyed the article about reading that you linked to. About audiobooks, pretty funny quote (drinking your veggies). I feel like audio is best for light novels, which are kind of like podcasts to me. If you’re really trying to engage with ideas, for me it needs to be the paper copy. BTW, I echo what the others have said - I always look forward to the weekly 5 Quick Things. And I feel your October pain-we have a similar situation usually where I live too-California Central Valley.
Tried enthusiastically to check the survey box next to: OG *Simple Mom* blog reader and SM podcast listener 😆!! You introduced me to so many things my heart longed for. I’m so grateful!
Also: I’m an oldest— fascinating!! I can’t put my finger on it, but for some reason it doesn’t surprise me ??

Solidarity!
Yes, in Dallas we are living the Autumn vibe even at 95 degrees. Gotta love it!
Good for you! 💪

I did too! Such a thoughtful, honest piece. And yes, I’m so curious about all the oldest children here too! 🤔
I'm so glad you love writing your 5 Quick Things because I LOVE your newsletter and format, Tsh!
Thanks for saying so, Brooke!
I’m thankful for 5 quick things and look forward to reading it in Fridays! Glad you aren’t eliminating that creative outlet! 🥰
Thanks for saying so, Marcy!

Thank you for saying so! And yes, it doesn’t surprise me either, but I can’t put my finger on why…
Glad to have helped solve the cinnamon problem! Just another firstborn, doing her part to help out . . . . 🤣
Ha!
